People are so nice: )
I've been faved!! And I just realized it because my alert thingy wasn't on. And... I'm officially in Hong Kong: )
It's hot, but okay. I'm gonna go to China too, not yet though. Don't expect frequent updates, cause I'm not always allowed on the computer now.
"KYAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" A high-pitched scream pierced the quiet air. It came from one of the four teens. But surprisingly, it hadn't come from the pink-haired one.
Sakura laughed, her head tossed back. They had fallen ten feet, and none except Naruto had screamed.
"Damn, I thought that was Sakura." Sasuke muttered.
"I guess we know who the gay one is now, ne, Dickless?" Sai asked, cheerfully.
"Shut-up! I was really scared..." Naruto whimpered... Now, to a girl this might have been touching, but to a guy this was gay. And there were two guys here and only one girl.
"Crybaby."
"Woman."
"Ooh, it's okay," Sakura cooed, patting his back and smoothing down his hair. "Those jerks don't know nothing."
Naruto pouted.
"So, where are we?" Sasuke asked, annoyed by the comfort Naruto was getting... Greedy bastard.
"Well, it appears we're in a city, though it's sort of obvious Emoboy." Sai was just as annoyed about Naruto's situation, but Sasuke was the closest target... Selfish jerk.
"Shut the hell up, Gayman." Sasuke growled. Sakura was intently watching in case for a fight. There was only a glaring contest. Disappointing.
"Welcome to Traverse Town." Sakura announced.
"Huh?" Naruto asked.
"That sign over there, it says: Welcome to Traverse Town." Sakura pointed. They suddenly realized what kind of city Traverse Town was. And for those that don't get it, there are two kinds of citites. One, is a smelly dark scary one, that has so many lights there's not a single star in the sky. The other is a sparkling, vast, delightful city, that makes your blood beat and your eyes get an inch bigger than they're supposed to. Traverse Town was the sparkling kind.
"It's so pretty..." Sakura breathed. The air was clean too.
"There's so many people!!!" Naruto cried. It was actually because Traverse Town was the only world guaranteed not to have Heartless.. In the first district.
"Che." Sasuke said, trying to act unimpressed. But it was hard not to stare at all the shops and people.
".." Sai was best at acting aloof, but it wasn't diguising the delight in his eyes at the sight of the art shop. His sketch book was running out of paper.
"Look!! An item's shop, and-" Sakura stopped, dead in her tracks. A soft, plushy, bat or cat like thing had just walked out of the shop. It had a pom-pom on it's head. It was adorable.
Sakura watched it move with unrestrained googly eyes. "It... It... It... It's beyond cute... Like it's something from an alternate universe that can't live on Earth.."
"Really?" Naruto, Sasuke, and Sai asked at once. They really didn't think it was cute. Or at least, maybe it was okay-looking... But..
"I have to hold it..." Sakura said. She walked mechanically toward it.
"Wait!! Don't you idiot!!" Sasuke roared, he tried to grab her arm, but she glided away and walked closer to the moogle.
"Sakura-chan, stop!!" Naruto cried. This could get them in deep crap.
Sai came up behind her and slapped her head with a paper fan. "Hag."
That seemed to knock Sakura out of her stupor, because she went over and knocked Sai off his feet.
"You jerk!! I just wanted to hold it!!" She whined, kicking his head.
"Dammit... See if I ever save your butt again.." Sai muttered, blowing his hair out of his face.
Sakura felt a tiny tug on her ankle, she looked down. It was the plushy thing.
"Excuse me." The moogle said in a bussiness-like voice, that really didn't match his shape.
"Cute..." Sakura squealed.
"... Okay..." The moogle was actually a tad irritated, because he was a guy and sick and tired of being called cute. But he did feel a little flattered by the compliment.
"What do you need us for?" Sasuke asked, his voice low and menacing. They always seemed to be them to be picked out of the crowd and pushed to do things for other people. It seemed impossible for them to do it themselves. And, they were always lucky to happen to pick them, not knowing they were warriors. Uchiha Sasuke was very paranoid, and did not trust people. But he was a little right.
"Well, we need test betas." The moogle said.
"For?" Sakura asked.
"Well... Actually... We're trying to find some people..." The moogle mumbled.
Sakura tilted her head. A habit that she had when she was confused.
"... We need to test out a few... items..." He mumbled.
"How many?" Sai asked, towering over the moogle.
"About 10." The moogle said, not backing down.
"What kind of items?" Naruto asked, trying to appear as scary as Sasuke and Sai.
"Synthesized items." The moogle was appearing sturdy on the outside, but inside his guts were watering. He pulled out one to show. "We use minerals and ores to create items."
".. Why us?" Sasuke asked, obviously peeved and looking similar to a cat that just noticed the dog peeing in it's water bowl.
"We need to use it on harmless and helpless civillians to check so it won't hurt anyone." The moogle said, in it's bussiness voice again.
"Sounds cool!!!" Sakura and Naruto said at the same time.
"What you just didn't like the idea a few minutes ago!" Sasuke roared at Naruto.
"I changed my mind.." Naruto whimpered, then remembered who was yelling at him and stuck his tongue out and lifted his fist in a threatening fashion.
"Idiot." Sai scoffed.
"Either way, we aren't doing this. It'll just eat up our time." Sasuke said, looking more evil by the minute.
".." The moogle paused for a minute and looked up at all of them. "We pay."
There was a still, shocked, pause.
"How much?" Sai asked, puting his hands on his hips and honestly looking gay.
Sakura stared at him with an expression that a young girl would give to a sex offender.
"100 munny each hour. And for each person." The moogle said in a voice that held a tint of smugness and triumph in it.
Naruto's mouth dropped open. Sakura just stared. Sasuke tried not to stare. Sai acted like Sai.
"I'll take it!!" Sakura cried.
"Me too!!" Naruto cried.
"Them too!!" Sakura pointed at Sasuke and Sai.
"WHAT?!"
"What the-... I don't need a hag to make my decisci- OW!"
The moogle smiled.
Now, the funny part was they didn't even know Traverse Town's currency. So, 100 munny could have easily been a itty bitty amount. 100 munny could have easily been enough to buy a piece of candy. But these people, they don't think about their situation alot. (It is sort of a big amount, just not as big as they think it is.)
First Day At Work...
"You know, this is the first time I've ever got a job. Like a real one." Naruto said.
"Really?! I've got jobs all the time!! I even run this shop that my dad used to run!!" Sakura cried.
"Why?" Sasuke asked, now interested.
"I needed some extra cash." She said with a shrug.
"Why can't your dad run it?" Sai asked, looking hard into her face.
"Gosh! You guys like to interrogate a girl don't you!" Sakura said this with a laugh, and a grin, but her eyes went glassy and dull. Like someone had just pulled the plug on her cheerfulness.
"..." Sasuke and Sai said nothing. Though they knew something went wrong.
"Ne, when were we supposed to be there?" Naruto asked.
"At..." Sakura checked her watch. "AAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!!!" Sakura screamed. Running forward. Sasuke and Sai desperately ran after her.
Sai managed to run on the side of her, while Sasuke was a little ways behind.
Naruto's eyes widened and he ran after her. "We're gonna be late?! But!-" He hit a lamp post.
"Naru-!" Sakura tripped over nothing and fell. "That... It hurts!!!!" Sakura cried, tears spilling from her spring-colored eyes.
"Argh!! You. Klutzy. Goddamn. Idiot." Sasuke managed to wheeze this between breathes.
Sai said nothing. He was confused he looked up into the sky.
"What?" Sakura asked. It would take alot to make Sai forget to call her an evil name.
"Is it... Raining?" Sai asked, looking up at the clear blue, sky. That had one visible cloud in the vast blueness.
"How could it be?" Sakura asked, puzzled. Why on earth would Sai be acting this way.
".. Did you hit your head?" Naruto asked.
"..."
Sai glared at Naruto, "Shut up." He jabbed at Sakura. "And you. Wipe your face. It's almost hard to believe how ugly you can get." Sai said, pointing at Sakura.
Sakura was about to scream like an old cat lady and tear his hair out before she realized she was still crying. "Owee.." She whined, rubbing her forehead that had made contact with the pavement.
"Jerk-face!!" Sakura cried, settling on that, still rubbing her forehead that was now blossoming a bright red bruise.
Sasuke rubbed his own forehead that was now covered in sweat, and though he didn't know he was attracting several girl's attention. To them he looked like a male model that was rubbing his forehead bishounen-style after exercising.
Naruto rubbed his chest, head, and forehead after they all had made really good friends with the lamp post.
Sai rubbed his own forehead and looked to the sky again. It definitely wasn't raining. But while he was running along side Sakura he felt a drop of water hit his cheek. Why?
Can you guess why a drop of water hit Sai's cheek? Mwahaha!! Sakura's family will always remain a mystery!!!
